Mosaic artist needed in the Montco, PA (Phila suburbs) Pls help!
Hi, my husband and I live in the Phila suburbs (approx 25 miles NW of center city) and have a 270° rough concrete pad that surrounds 3/4 of an outdoor round firepit (it looks a little bit like a baseball field) in our backyard. The pad extends approx 7' from the firepit; total sq ft: ~110, pls see photo.
We would like to have a mosaic designed and installed for this area. We understand that because it's an outdoor flooring project we will need to use mostly porcelain tiles.
The design that we want is of a rising sun with rays/stripes (like photo, only symmetric/centered and w/o shadow) in shades of various yellows, plus some cream/white and orange with blueish clouds at the base of the design (bordering the firepit). My husband has created an image of the design on 2D AutoCAD.
Hub has completed various tile projects over the years for our home and we have lots of leftover tiles and, if practical, we'd also like to incorporate some of these (mostly blue and green pool-style tiles and those that can withstand southeast PA winters) into the design.
We have checked online and went to various tile stores (it's hard to find yellow tiles!) and we finally found some porcelain floor tiles at the local DalTile in Fort Washington, PA measuring 2" x 2" (small) and 12" x 24" (large format).
We have asked 2 different artists in the area (whose work we Love!) to help us with this project, but they are both committed to other projects.
Are you or do you know of any mosaic tile artists or even students that would be interested in completing this project for us this year?
We are happy to pay market rates for your labor. We will feed you and we can offer complimentary lodging during the project if needed.
Frankie
